wonderful people doing wonderful things

We went to the adoption event and filled out the application on the way there. We were approved for the dog we wanted, signed some paperwork and took him home that day! We have two young children and were trying to find a shelter that would adopt a small dog to us, and weren’t having much luck even though our kids are very dog savvy. RHR met our kids, let us hold the dog, did not pressure us one way or the other, and despite there being 20 or so dogs there and a bunch of families, they kept it organized, fluid and quick. We are thrilled with our new family member. You guys, these people VOLUNTEER to do this... to meet trucks of dogs at all hours of the night to take them home to foster. Most of the time multiple dogs to one foster, dogs that haven’t had it very easy and are scared and dirty and who most likely wouldn’t have lived through the shelter they were pulled from. This is grueling, heart wrenching, valuable work. Please adopt. Validate this work and give these poor things a warm bed and a full bowl of food.

RHR has been incredible to work with! This was our first foray into adopting and rescuing a new pet and it was absolutely awesome! From the start, my inquiry email, all the way through picking up our newest fella, they were just terrific to work with and communicate with! I would recommend them highly and frequently! (in fact, I have! two of our friends are in the process of adopting now too!) Saving this puppy's life has been a gift beyond measure and partnering with RHR to get that done was the best decision we made! Thank you, RHR ... thank you! <3

We love Rhode Home Rescue. They go above and beyond for the dog. Thanks Nadine and Stacy for saving so many.

  We just adopted our Kaia and she is such a lovebug! She’s the perfect addition to our family! Rhode home was so awesome and well organized and helpful. Her foster was super nice and we even got a cute little starter kit with toys and treats. I would highly recommend adopting from them!

RHR is a very unique group of people. They are doing something extremely wonderful saving the lives of all these beautiful, healthy, friendly dog's whom where destine to be destroyed. Please see what they have to offer before you shop because adopting your new pet is much more rewarding and RHR are the one to see.We have the pleasure to announce the adoption of lil Toby, he's such a cute lil guy and just so so friendly we love this lil dog very much and he has found his forever home with us. We are very excited to bring him home...Thank you RHR for being there....

I highly recommend Rhode Home Rescue for adopting an animal. It was a very pleasant experience adopting from this organization. The volunteers where amazing. I also love that these animal do not sit in a shelter, what I saw at our local animal shelter was abuse. The animals may go outside 8 hours a week if they have a volunteer to take them out. It’s not guaranteed they even go outside. They sit in what I call a jail cell while it takes months for them to make a decision on who they allow to adopt them. Shelters like our local one needs to take some training from Rhode Home Rescue instead of their terrible egotistical practices. Save yourself time and energy and just apply with Rhode Home Rescue.

  we got sister (who is now Leia)it was simple and the staff was super nice. we love our baby and would adopt again threw Rhode home rescue

  We adopted our dog from RHR 2 years ago and they were amazing! The adoption process was much easier than all the other adoption agencies in RI, and they were much nicer! They even realized after we adopted our dog that she was due for another vaccine and paid for it! At the adoption event we met amazing volunteers who recommended dog walkers and vets, which made the process of adopting a dog so much smoother! I would adopt again from RHR in a heartbeat!!
